2000 Cadillac DeVille Base review from North America
"Wouldn't spend a lot for one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought this car 1 month ago. Beautiful ride, great road performance, but alas, General Motors cheap parts.
The car has 2 windows that don't work.
The A/C crackles like popcorn, the cheap base speakers crackle like popcorn.
Got in the car one day, the rearview mirror was dangling in the air by the electrical cord, took a chunk of glass with it from the windshield.
I smell something burning sometimes.
The car stalls all the time (believe it's the dreaded crankshaft position sensors).
The rear A/C for the rear passengers blows cold air no matter the setting.
The torque converter clutch solenoid code is on with the check engine light.
Have I missed anything?
General comments?
General Motors has the right ideas, but their quest to mass produce vehicles in volume with cheap parts will always be the downfall of the company.
It's a shame, the car is beautiful, but my 1997 Taurus was more reliable, and my 1987 Ford pickup was more reliable. No wonder you can get them for cheap used.
